| The Book of 1st Timothy 5 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Weymouth New Testament Online Bible (WEY) | ||||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:1 | Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger men as brothers; | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:2 | the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, with perfect modesty. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:3 | Honour widows who are really in need. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:4 | But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:5 | A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications and prayers, night and day; | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:6 | but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:7 | Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives free from reproach. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:8 | But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is behaving worse than an unbeliever. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:9 | No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:10 | She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:11 | But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry, | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:12 | and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:13 | And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go round from house to house; and they are not only idle, but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things that ought not to be spoken of. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:14 | I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:15 | For already some of them have gone astray, following Satan. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:16 | If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:17 | Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:18 | For the Scripture says, "You are not to muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain;" and the workman deserves his pay. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:19 | Never entertain an accusation against an Elder except on the evidence of two of three witnesses. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:20 | Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all, so that it may also be a warning to the rest. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:21 | I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions of mine without prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:22 | Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker in the sins of others; keep *yourself* pure. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:23 | (No longer be a water-drinker; but take a little wine for the sake of your digestion and your frequent ailments.) | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:24 | The sins of some men are evident to the world, leading the way to your estimate of their characters, but the sins of others lag behind. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Timothy 5:25 | So also the right actions of some are evident to the world, and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight. | |||||||||||||||
